Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

to think I was advocating giving him a new contract after the first derby of last season, woops  :lol:

 

Yeah, so wrong. :rolleyes:

 

He's been a great player for us that time and he's been error free that time.

 

You what?

Have to say, thought with "last season", he meant the 2010/2011 season, the 5-1 where Joey bossed the game. :lol:

 

It's well documented that I wanted him to stay even after the first derby of the 2011/2012 season. I've admitted some time ago that I've been wrong there, though.

Hope his career is over tbh. 

 

I'd give him five years before he descends into alcoholism and/or gets arrested.

being better than Henderson is hardly the greatest way to say he deserves to be in there, plenty of players are better than Henderson.

 

Also toon25 bravo on your updating avatar :clap:

 

Merci!

 

And I agree on your point by the way. I'm just still seething at the fact Henderson is in there at all.

He wasn't better than Henderson last season, he was possibly the worst CM in the league.

Daniel Taylor giving the stats, Roy H providing the banter:

 

Joey Barton has either an understated sense of humour or is in danger of

becoming a parody of himself. Sadly, I fear the latter. "On ability I walk in the squad," he informed his Twitter following. Which, if nothing else, has caused a certain amount of amusement for the players who are actually here.

 

Perhaps Roy Hodgson paid too much notice to that pesky statistic that Barton made more inaccurate passes, 490, in the opposition half than any other Premier League player last season. Or maybe the England manager noted Barton's pass-completion rate was 74.94% - 49th out of 54 English midfielders.

 

"I shouldn't really be surprised," Hodgson told me. "At the moment it's

about Rio Ferdinand. Maybe if Joey Barton had a bigger following, we'd be debating that next week."

 

And then he smiled. "I'm not convinced his following will give me the same grief ..."

@Joey7Barton No. But the tough guy face, the queer shorts and bastard pikey vest are absolutely abysmal. Much like your career.

 

:laugh:
